Here’s the full text below:”

I am able to login to Analytics web using my Acitive Directory credentials. However, I need to be able to assign permissions to my self. How do I do that? Do I create an Analytics group named the same as an Active Directory group and assign permissions to the Analytics group?

Customer is able to login to Analytics web using my Acitive Directory credentials. However, he wants to assign permissions to my self. How do I do that? Do I create an Analytics group named the same as an Active Directory group and assign permissions to the Analytics group?

Resolution
After understanding the requirements of the customer it was determined that it is not possible to retrieve the Group name the way customer is trying.

We do not support retrieving group dynamically for LDAP/ADSI validation.
I have logged Bug No# 5714777 as an Enhancement Request to support this feature.
Only way to retrieve the group name is to create an attribute “xyz” in ADSI and then populate with xyz:webadmin;siebeladmin then you can map it to Group variable. “
